Greetings Earth humans! I am the ThinkerOfThoughts, and here you will find not only the things I make, but how I make them!
Those of you that have followed me here from my facebook/deviantArt pages will know me for my woodcarving and bladesmithing, but I, like the humble screwdriver, do many things. Here you will see very amateur electrical engineering, untrained mechanical machinations, mildly miffed science, and of course, blacksmithing and woodworking.

Very nice work!
You can apply thin CA glue to the wood threads to make them stronger. Just be sure to let it cure thoroughly before installing the cap
The music is so intense I had to stop watching every 39 seconds. Absolutely exhausted after 3 days. But worth every hour. Thanks.
Make the top plug round and heat the horn to fit it. Way easier
Hello: You broke the cardinal rule of horn making! You DON'T EVER glue in a horn cap. You've essentially just made a hand held bomb!! You always attach it with tacks or wooden "plugs" around the perimeter and seal it with bees wax. If a hot spark ever got in there it would blow your dad's hand off or worse. Just a heads up for future horns. Other than that, nice job.:~)))) God bless: Two Feathers Proprietor of: The Mountain Man Emporium
I’m a traditional type of person and I use beeswax to seal the plug and toothpicks as pins to fasten it. But if a spark ever gets into one of mine or this very nice horn this fellow made, you’ll have a bombshell anyway ! Nice job ! Keep it up you’ll learn something every time you build one ! 👍
80° angle for the plug 👍
Very nice work
I can't wait to see what you start making once you get past the impatience of youth. I'll bet your dad loved the horn!
He did indeed
I like to see things done. a little differently .Good work and great music .
hola amigo! vengo de DA
Awesome video :) MayGoldworthy from DA here, nice lathe, and nice lathe work, apart from maybe the bit where it jumped out while you were parting off LOL, I would have used video editing to hide that bit, but not to worry, in my experience brass does not part off well at the best of times, thanks for sharing this :)
I prefer to leave the oopses in , lest people think I actually know what I'm doing :P I always wonder how many false starts, do-overs and general errors get made when I'm watching a video where things go even slightly according to plan.
@@thinkerofthoughtsthings4914 that's fair :) me too, there are so many videos where nothing goes wrong at all, but those people must make mistakes at least sometimes ;)
That was a really cool video. Other than the *SAMPLE TEXT* , totally got a like and follow from me. I really hope you get more views. I do want to commission you, I assume I have to contact you through deviant art or something.
O_O I cannot believe I missed that, I shall fix it asap. Thank, both for the like/follow, and for being the first person to mention that rather glaring oops. As to contacting me, my email address is in the About section of my youtube channel.
@@thinkerofthoughtsthings4914 cool! I will make a reference sheet, then send it to you for pricing and if you are willing to tackle it!
mmm, electrical components.
Hello there! Great work! I’d be interested in commissioning a custom from you. Do you have an email at which I can reach you?

@@thinkerofthoughtsthings4914 Thank you! Emailing right away.
That turned out very well.
Additive manufacturing combined subtractive manufacturing = ctrl+z and ctrl+y :P
Nice, I had wondered about a couple things with the assembly so it's nice to know now.
Firebricks that melt certainly seem less than ideal, too bad that didn't work out.
They worked great, until they started dripping. Back to the drawing board.
@@thinkerofthoughtsthings4914 aye, was it the bricks themselves or the mortar that failed? perhaps both.
@@Timothious_Maximus Bricks and mortar were the same material. What I think happened was that the bricks absorbed too much heat, rather than reflecting it back into the forge; but there insulating properties were good enough that it stayed in like the outer third or so, so it couldn't dissipate it across its self enough to keep the outer layer from getting too hot and melting.
@@thinkerofthoughtsthings4914 ah, makes sense, an issue with conductivity would do that. if anything they insulated too well.
@@Timothious_Maximus I've a few ideas on what to try next, we shall see how they go
if you ever run across a decent #4 size plane, it might be a good candidate for making a scrub plane with a really aggressive cambered blade. really lets you hog off material fast, then follow up with your #5 to flatten.
lovely work all the same, just takes more time, and that's perfectly okay.
I actually have one, issue is the handle is way to small for my hand so I keep banging my knuckles when I use it
@@thinkerofthoughtsthings4914 Ah, that'd do it, i have the same problem with a couple of mine, will have to make up some new, slightly taller handles for them.
If I had your talent I would not have spent 30+ years working at night on the railroad. You make me proud Son. I love you keep up the good work.

noice. i hate working with poplar personally, but you're making good use of it.
I love it, though it depends on if its sapwood of heartwood. The sapwood tends to be kind of fussy and an absolute nightmare to finish, heartwood is simplicity its self
@@thinkerofthoughtsthings4914 fair enough. probably depends on the specific breed of poplar too, black poplar being notoriously useless in my admittedly limited experience. (also it just smells awful to me.) can certainly look nice though with the greens and purples it picks up sometimes.
Looks good to me. Proud of you.
Maybe put a slab of brick on top as you bake it to press out excess air pockets.
Probably like 5 thousand dollar unit, must've been obsolete if it's still functional.
It is obsolete but having worked in the IT department at FSU that means nothing (seriously there is a computer form 2000 being used as a server for a security thing). Wasn't cheap though, a $500 thing new,
@@thinkerofthoughtsthings4914 ah, fair enough. definitely thought it'd be more expensive than that, but it's still quite a bit to just leave it out like that. you win this time i guess.
The things that just get tossed at FSU (engineering college in particular) are mind boggling
@@thinkerofthoughtsthings4914 truly.

Wow!!!!
did your facebook/deviant art links stop working?
fixed
Good ol upholstery thread, strong as string, while only double the thickness of normal thread.
Assuming I can find it in the right colors I use it for all my sewing.
Beautiful!!
Wow
i wonder what would be the effect of using ceramic fibres as a binder. though that would be a sketchy process to work with such loose fibres when just the bats of the stuff are so dangerous without respirator.
Interesting idea, it would probably work kind of like fiber ranforced concrete...
that was what made me think of it.
Glass fibre might also work, but would have a good chance to melt and fail.
neat
Never realized you made your own power hammer when i followed you on your other social medias. Awesome.
A Kracken!!!!
Very cool looks great .
Very cool.
Good job on the bird and a good video. Need to put some hammer and anvil sounds in there. That is music too.
That bird wanted to take off before she even emerged!!!
